Edit area font problem

It seems that the font used in the editing area (Roboto Mono?) has a problem with its *alef* and *ayin* glyphs: it seems it has reversed  `U+02BE` (alef) and `U+02BF` (ayin). See this screenshot (sorry it's a tad large!):

![screenshot shows glyph problem](https://languages.codidact.com/uploads/S7D9iURX4JXHLzL7eC9eifVB "Compare red circle at top with green circle at bottom - these should both be /alef/ characters.")

The red circle has (believe it or not — but it's true) the same `U+02BE` character as the green circle in the rendered version. But the edit area one is backwards (= `U+02BF`), which is quite disconcerting!

I have seen one other font has this flaw ([Spectral][s], if you're curious), and I haven't installed Roboto Mono locally to confirm. (Can anyone confirm?) But if it's NOT a font issue, then ... it's an edit-area issue of a different kind.
